School Accountability Report Card
Reported Using Data from the 2015-16 School Year
Published During 2016-17
By February 1 of each year, every school in California is required by state law to publish a School Accountability Report Card (SARC).
The SARC contains information about the condition and performance of each California public school. Under the Local Control Funding
Formula (LCFF) all local educational agencies (LEAs) are required to prepare a Local Control and Accountability Plan (LCAP), which
describes how they intend to meet annual school-specific goals for all pupils, with specific activities to address state and local priorities.
Additionally, data reported in an LCAP is to be consistent with data reported in the SARC.
•
For more information about SARC requirements, see the California Department of Education (CDE) SARC Web page at
http://www.cde.ca.gov/ta/ac/sa/.
•
For more information about the LCFF or LCAP, see the CDE LCFF Web page at http://www.cde.ca.gov/fg/aa/lc/.
•
For additional information about the school, parents/guardians and community members should contact the school principal or
the district office.
DataQuest
DataQuest is an online data tool located on the CDE DataQuest Web page at http://dq.cde.ca.gov/dataquest/ that contains additional
information about this school and comparisons of the school to the district and the county. Specifically, DataQuest is a dynamic system
that provides reports for accountability (e.g., test data, enrollment, high school graduates, dropouts, course enrollments, staffing, and
data regarding English learners).
Internet Access
Internet access is available at public libraries and other locations that are publicly accessible (e.g., the California State Library). Access
to the Internet at libraries and public locations is generally provided on a first-come, first-served basis. Other use restrictions may
include the hours of operation, the length of time that a workstation may be used (depending on availability), the types of software
programs available on a workstation, and the ability to print documents.

School Facility Conditions and Planned Improvements (Most Recent Year)
The main building of Wilson School contains 13 classrooms, boys and girls restrooms, a staff room, staff restrooms, library, media
center, speech room, and various offices. Even though this building was constructed in 1963, it was updated and modernized over
the summer of 2014 as a result of a bond measure that Gridley voters approved. The updating and modernization included a new roof,
HVAC systems in each of the classrooms, mounted projectors and screens, ADA compliant doorways, bathrooms, and office space. In
addition to this main building, there are 16 relocateable classrooms which house students, our special day class, intervention classes,
and our professional development training room. Wilson Elementary School has a portable multi-purpose room which houses 577
children for meals, assemblies and our after school program.
In addition to our monthly inspection forms that our head custodian completes, Dave Carroll, a certified Safety Professional, conducted
a risk management inspection of our campus on February 28, 2014.

B. Pupil Outcomes
State Priority: Pupil Achievement
The SARC provides the following information relevant to the State priority: Pupil Achievement (Priority 4):
• Statewide assessments (i.e., California Assessment of Student Performance and Progress [CAASPP] System, which includes the
Smarter Balanced Summative Assessments for students in the general education population and the California Alternate
Assessments [CAAs] for English language arts/literacy [ELA] and mathematics given in grades three through eight and grade
eleven. The CAAs have replaced the California Alternate Performance Assessment [CAPA] for ELA and mathematics, which were
eliminated in 2015. Only eligible students may participate in the administration of the CAAs. CAA items are aligned with
alternate achievement standards, which are linked with the Common Core State Standards [CCSS] for students with significant
cognitive disabilities); and
• The percentage of students who have successfully completed courses that satisfy the requirements for entrance to the
University of California and the California State University, or career technical education sequences or programs of study

Note: ELA test results include the Smarter Balanced Summative Assessment and the CAA. The “Percent Met or Exceeded” is calculated by taking the total number of
students who met or exceeded the standard on the Smarter Balanced Summative Assessment plus the total number of students who met the standard on the CAAs
divided by the total number of students who participated in both assessments.
Double dashes (--) appear in the table when the number of students is ten or less, either because the number of students in this category is too small for statistical
accuracy or to protect student privacy.
Note: The number of students tested includes all students who participated in the test whether they received a score or not; however, the number of students tested
is not the number that was used to calculate the achievement level percentages. The achievement level percentages are calculated using only students who received
scores.

School Safety Plan (School Year 2016-17)
Wilson Elementary School has an updated school emergency and disaster preparedness plan that encompasses: fire, earthquake,
chemical accident, bomb threat and dangerous intruder on campus (lock-down). The plan outlines the responsibilities of each staff
member and the procedures to follow per the emergency. Our emergency phone tree is updated regularly and earthquake, fire, and
lock-down drills occur monthly. All staff members, certificated and classified, have received training regarding our school-wide
emergency and disaster preparedness plan and ongoing discussions occur regarding student safety for the classroom, playground, and
cafeteria. Crossing guards, bus supervision, and noon duty supervisors are also in place and an emphasis is placed on bicycle,
pedestrian, and train safety due to the school’s proximity to a main thoroughfare and railroad tracks.

Types of Services Funded (Fiscal Year 2015-16)
In order to support the diverse academic needs of all of our students, we have funded two full time intervention teachers that provide
explicit, targeted ELA instruction in the following areas: decoding, fluency, comprehension, and writing. These students were selected
based upon assessment data and progress is monitored weekly using AIMSWEB formative assessments. These groups are fluid which
allow for students to exit the intervention once mastery has been made. All students at Wilson Elementary School will also be
administered fluency and comprehension benchmark assessments three times per year and students progress will be closely
monitored using both iready and Aimsweb Assessment Data. Our intervention teachers are funded out of LCAP, Title I, and Title II
funds.
Instructional aides are also part of our Wilson Community and support our second grade, third grade, special education students, and
our tier 2/tier 3 intervention students. Our instructional aides work with students in small groups and provide additional support to
students in the area of ELA. Our instructional aides are funded out of Title I and Title III funds.
Instructional materials and staff development is provided for our English Language Development (ELD) teachers and funded out of
Title III.

Professional Development (Most Recent Three Years)
As outlined in the Gridley Unified School District Common Core Implementation Plan, GUSD Board Goals, and LCAP Goals, the 20152016 school year staff development opportunities at Wilson Elementary will focus on Common Core implementation, technology
integration, English Language Development Strategies, Response to Intervention, and Professional Learning Communities. Therefore
prior to the school year, our teachers received professional development that focused on implementation of common core standards
and the integration of technology. In addition, Wilson Elementary School has early release days every Wednesday afternoon in which
teachers are engaged in professional development opportunities that focus on Common Core implementation, high leverage teaching
strategies, RtI, and technology implementation. In addition, data analysis, grade level collaboration, and cross-grade level
collaboration are scheduled during this time.

In order to accommodate the implementation of Common Core and the integration of technology, additional teacher release days are
scheduled throughout the school year, district after school workshops are offered, and teacher leaders have been sent to conferences
with technology, RtI, and English Language Development as the focus. These teacher leaders have shared their new learning with our
staff via our early release Wednesdays and after school workshops. To further support teacher implementation of Common Core and
technology integration, our instructional coach and principal provide in-class coaching, demonstration lessons, and feedback following
observations. Teachers, novice and veteran, are also given the opportunity to observe other teachers within our school and other
districts.
In addition to professional development opportunities for our certificated staff, our instructional aides receive professional
development in the area of Common Core high leverage strategies.
